Everybody is afraid of something. More than 2...

Everybody is afraid of something. More than 2500 children told us what they were afraid of. Some don’t like the darkness. Some hate bad dreams and scary movies(恐怖片). And some of them want to run away from dogs and snakes.

Tom, 11, is afraid of the darkness because he worries that someone might break into his house.

10-year-old Kathy said he was afraid of thunderstorms(闪电) and the sound at night.

The worst thing about the afraid feeling is that we don’t know how to deal with it. Here are three ways to help children feel better.

More than half of rich Americans have not shown their full wealth to their children, a new survey showed last Tuesday.

The survey, published by the Bank of America, studied the rich with $3 million or more in assets. It found that “surprisingly few of those surveyed have well-developed plans to preserve and pass on their assets to their children”.

The majority of the 457 people surveyed are self-made, first-generation rich. Fifty-two percent of parents have chosen not to tell their children just how wealthy they are, and 15 percent have given away nothing about the family wealth. One in three parents said they had never thought to do it.

They are worried that their children would become lazy, spend money freely, make bad decisions and even become a target for gold diggers. Only 34 percent strongly agreed that their children would be able to handle any inheritance（遗产）they plan to leave them.

“There is an expectation about the wealthy parents that they have a responsibility to pass down their fortune to the next generation,” said Sallie Krawcheck, president of the Bank of America Global Wealth and Investment Management. “Our research, however, uncovered changing views of what one generation owes to the next.”

The trend is led by the world's richest man Bill Gates, who promised in 2008 that he would leave his $58 billion fortune to the charity started by him and his wife, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and not to his children.

“We want to give it back to society in the way that it will have the most positive impact,” he said.

Of his plans for his children Gates said: “I will give the kids some money but not a meaningful percentage...they will need to wok but they will feel reasonably taken care of.”

1.We can learn from the passage that ______.

A.rich parents may not know how to manage their inheritance

B.American children don't get to inherit their parents' wealth

C.rich parents don't necessarily equal rich kids, at least in the US

D.children don't expect themselves to be as rich as their parents

2.According to the survey, most rich Americans ______.

A.don't think that they owe their children anything

B.consider it best to give their money back to society

C.worry about the ability of their children to handle wealth

D.are strongly confident in their children s ability to handle wealth

3.The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refers to ______.

A.rich parents B.the Bill Gates C.the first rich generation D.responsible children

For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming home to an empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But all of them have something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called latchkey children. They’re children who look after themselves while their parents work. And their bad condition has become a subject of concern.

Lynette Long was once the headmaster of an elementary school. She said, “We had a school rule against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. I was constantly telling them to put them inside shirts. There were so many keys, it never came to my mind what they meant.” Slowly, she learned they were house keys.

She and her husband began talking to the children who had them. They learned of the impact(影响) working couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear is the biggest problem faced by children at home alone. One in each three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported being scared. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety.

The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. It might be in a shower stall, under a bed in a closet. The second is TV. They’ll often play it at high volume. It’s hard to get statistics on latchkey children, the Longs learned. Most parents are slow to admit they leave their children alone.

1.The main idea about “latchkey children” is that they _______.

A．are growing in numbers

B．are also found in middle-class neighborhoods

C．watch too much television during the day

D．suffer problems from being left alone

2.Which sentence in the second paragraph is the topic sentence?

A．We had a school rule against wearing jewelry.

C．I was constantly telling them to put inside their shirts.

3.The main feeling these children have when they are at home by themselves is _______.

A．tiredness B．freedom　 C．loneliness D．fear

4.We may draw a conclusion that _______.

C．latchkey children often watch TV with their parents

D．it’s difficult to find out how many latchkey children there are
